|Colour Trends

October 10, 2005 _trends

After attending several main design fairs across Europe and observing the design market something appears very clear to me: brown is the new neutral colour.
Along with the furNATURE trend that sees more and more the influence of shapes taken from Nature, the use of dark browns, whites, vanilla, graphite grey, grey-brown shades and natural-brown harmonies is definitely taking the position of leading colour trend.
Accent colours are the by now modern classic orange and the newer acid green. The emerging accent colours are definitely fuchsia and violet.
Patterns and floral motifs are still ruling the surfaces; I believe it will soon evolve into more sophisticated forms as we risk saturation fast.
